### Expungement Results

Online RMS protects the identity and related data of expunged records by applying restrictions based on a combination of user permissions and an Expunged flag placed on the data.

For users without the Expungement - View Expunged Records permission, the Field Arrest will not display as follows:

| • | Field Arrest Search Results (search by number, Arrestee, Names).

| • | Incident Summary Tab – Arrest Grid (if associated).

| • | Warrants – Arrest Grid (if associated).

| • | Incident Names Tab – View Victim Page– Victim/Offender relationship.

| • | Master Indices – Common Event Associations/Involvement Counts.

| • | Incident Mapping – Incident Quick View.

| • | Visualization – Incident Quick View.

Online RMS displays the above data with an [EXPUNGED] tag on the record for users with the Expungement - View Expunged permission. Users with this permission can also view both the original Incident Narratives and the edited expunged versions.
